In 2018, Google launched a Bitcoin data set as part of the service, and later that year, it added Ethereum as well. It continued to expand its blockchain coverage in February 2019, adding Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic, Litecoin and Zcash. The Sept. 21 announcement means that BigQuery now carries data from a total of 19 blockchain networks. In addition to adding these new blockchains, Google has also implemented a new feature intended to make blockchain queries easier to execu...

The team behind Balancer, an Ethereum-based automated market maker, believes a social engineering attack on its DNS service provider led to its website’s front end being compromised on Sept. 19, leading to an estimated $238,000 in crypto stolen. “After investigation, it is clear that this was a social engineering attack on EuroDNS, the domain registrar used for .fi TLDs,” the firm explained in a Sept. 20 X (formerly Twitter) post. Approximately eight hours after the first warning of the attac...

A total of $4.8 million in funds have now been moved by the hacker to Bitcoin and now Avalanche.
The hackers behind cryptocurrency casino Stake’s $41 million hack have shifted another $328,000 million worth of Polygon
and BNB (BNB) tokens — their latest moves following the Sept. 4 exploit, according to blockchain security firm CertiK.
The most recent transfer involved 300 BNB tokens worth about $61,500 to an externally owned address “0x695…” which were then bridged to the Avalanche blockchain on Sept. 11 at 4:09 pm UTC.
Another 520,000 MATIC tokens worth over $266,000 were also moved to Avalanche seven hours earlier at 7:18 am UTC.
t is understood the hacker gained access to the private key of Stake’s Binance Smart Chain and Ethereum hot wallets to perpetrate the hack on Sept. 4.
The United States Federal Bureau of Investigation believes North Korea’s Lazarus Group was behind the exploit.
With $41 million stripped from Stake, the industry’s malicious actors have now taken the cryptocurrency hacks and scams toll to well over $1 billion in 2023.
CertiK previously reported the figure to be $997 million at the end of August, though several attacks in the last two weeks will push the figure over the $1 billion mark.

In September, a cryptocurrency whale lost $24 million in staked Ether (ETH) in a phishing attack on Sept. 6, and Vitalik Buterin’s X (formerly Twitter) account was then compromised on Sept. 9, where the hacker then lured several victims into a nonfungible token scam which totaled $691,000.
The three incidents would take CertiK’s August figure to at least $1.04 billion.
